Upon delivery, UPS will note the UPS tracking linked to your gift with the time, delivery address and the location where the gift was delivered. Home deliveries usually will state front door, back door or even garage. Apartment deliveries are made to the front door of your recipient's residence however, if the door is inaccessible by UPS or if the area is deemed unsafe by the UPS driver, UPS will deliver the gift to the front office/leasing office etc and note the tracking information as such. Business locations and hotels/motels typically will have a designated delivery location for UPS deliveries. The UPS driver will have to leave the gift at the designated location (ie dock, loading dock or front desk) for the safety of the employees and guests the UPS driver is not allowed to roam the location to search for your recipient. Once the gift has been delivered to the designated location, it is then the businesses responsibility to sort the gifts and deliver them to their owner. Educational Institutions deliveries will be made to the front office or to the student mail center. At the time of delivery, the educational institution will follow their practices and policies to make your student aware of the delivery.

You must be sure when entering the address to add the apartment number as a missed apartment number may delay the delivery of your thoughtful gift. It is always best to include the first and last name of the recipient when sending to an apartment building.

There are certain days throughout the year on which we cannot deliver, such as Sundays (as UPS does not operate that day), certain holidays, and in some cases, the day directly following a holiday. We also cannot deliver gifts on Mondays between Memorial Day and Labor Day, due to summer heat. The days on which delivery is not possible are grayed out on our calendar.

Cardboard Box: We recommend breaking down the white Bake Me A Wish box and disposing of it in the appropriate cardboard recycling area. Gel Packs: The best way to dispose of the gel ice packs is to allow them to fully thaw. Next, cut open the side and empty the gel into your waste receptacle. Recycle the empty plastic pouch with other plastics. We highly recommend that you do not put the thawed gel down your sink or septic tank. While it is nontoxic and non-hazardous, it can further clog the pipes if there is a pre-existing clog. The method above is the best method of disposal. Dry Ice: The dry ice will arrive in a plastic bag inside of the cooler. If you receive the gift and there is an empty bag with no dry ice; than the dry ice did its intended job. The dry ice will slowly evaporate releasing the cold to keep your gift safe and secure from the heat. Please dispose of the plastic bag into your garbage. If you receive your gift with ruminates of dry ice, we recommend removing the dry ice bag from the cooler, removing your gift and then returning the bag to the empty cooler leaving it at room temperature in a well-ventilated area until evaporated. Please note, do not touch dry ice with bare skin. Dry ice may burn skin if not protected. Additionally, DO NOT dispose of the dry ice in your sink as it may cause damage to your plumbing. Coolers: What’s cool about our coolers? We use recycled Styrofoam that is environmentally conscious. Yes! Contrary to popular belief, Styrofoam can be recycled! Bake Me A Wish only uses recycled foam for its coolers and encourages its recipients to help keep the cycle going. For a complete list of locations that allow drop off of polystyrene material for recycling, please visit: https://www.foamfacts.com/recycling/ If your area does not recycle Styrofoam, please reuse our coolers. Keep it handy in the trunk of your car for heat sensitive groceries. Pack a lunch for a family outing. Keep snacks and drinks cool for random road trips!
